Am I Ready to Retire?
What does retirement look like for you? Do you see yourself starting new endeavors, pursuing hobbies, traveling, or spending more time with friends and family? The first step before planning anything is to figure out your goals!
We recommend creating a bucket list of 4 things you hope to achieve during retirement. This question might not seem related to finances, but knowing your goals is the first step to pursuing them and having the assets to do so!
Do you feel unprepared for retirement?
Are you asking questions like “is the timing right?” or “Do I have enough set-aside?” running through your head?
Retirement looks different for everyone. Sometimes people enter retirement with no expectations or plans. They may start to miss the feeling of fulfillment they got from their career which might inspire them to embark on new adventures. Others have been planning everything out for years only to have retirement hit much differently than expected. They might change their tune and evolve into a more laid-back approach realizing time is their greatest asset.
With an abundance of free time, after years of anticipation, retirement is a wonderful opportunity to redefine your life goals!
Most of the questions we get about retirement are the expenses. This can be a daunting but manageable topic. Some people consider downsizing their home or reducing spending habits because they don’t know what the future holds. We want to help you achieve your goals, ease your worries, and increase your expectations of retirement!
If you already feel confident with your current plan it’s still a great idea to get a second opinion. Just like any other important life decision you want to make sure you are taking the best route towards your future! If you feel unprepared for the future or want to reexamine your existing strategy, talking with a financial professional that specializes in retirement is your next step!
